Daily View

Review a single trading day as a P&L chart of its trades, with a block per trade and the day journal.

Daily View

Open the daily view to review one day trade by trade. Without a chosen day, the page opens on the latest day that has trades, so an empty present day does not greet you. Today jumps to the present day.

Path and navigation

The path at the top reads Lifetime › 2026 › March › Week 11 › Mon, Mar 9. Each earlier step is a link that zooms out to that page. The current day opens a date picker. On the right, the arrows step to the previous and next day (also ← and →), and Today appears when you are not on the present day.

Journal on the right opens the day's journal in a side panel. See Day journal.

The lead

Under the path, the day's own candle sits beside the day's P&L. A row of figures follows:

  • Trades
  • Win rate, which counts winners against winners plus losers. Breakeven trades do not count, and a day with only breakeven trades shows a dash.
  • Best point, the highest P&L the day reached, open positions included
  • Worst point, the lowest P&L the day reached
  • Given back from best, how far the day finished below its best point
  • Goal status for each recurring goal whose window is a day

A day without trades shows a message instead. Goals still show.

P&L chart while trades were on

The chart plots your P&L only while trades were on. It draws the stretches in which at least one trade was open and cuts out every pause with nothing open, however short.

  • The line follows the stored P&L path of each trade, open and closed P&L together. At every exit it jumps to the trade's result.
  • A faint band behind the line spans the high and low of each price bar, so swings inside a coarse bar stay visible.
  • The area under the line is green while the day is up from where it began and red while it is down, moment by moment. It does not follow the day's final result.
  • Hover shows the time and the P&L at that moment.

A trade without a stored price path has no swings to draw. The line steps in at its exit.

Trade candles

Each closed trade is one block, in time order. Open positions are not blocks. The block's candle opens at zero, its body runs to the trade's result, and its wicks reach the best and worst point of the trade while it was open. A tall upper wick on a losing trade means it was green and was given back.

A block shows the symbol and direction, the result, Best and Worst, and a green or red tint that is stronger for a larger result. All candles on the page share one vertical scale, so their sizes compare. Under the candle, the block shows when the trade opened and closed and how long it was held, in up to two units such as 1d 3h or 45m 0s.

Select a block to open the trade. Its page lists the individual buys and sells that made it up, which separates scaled entries, scaled exits, and reversals.

Day journal

The journal panel opens beside the page. Write the day's note here: what setup you were trading, what you would do differently, what to flag for the weekly review. The note is attached to the date, so it surfaces in every zoom level that drills back to this day.

Widgets and filters

Page widgets stay at the top of the page. Configure them in Page widgets.

The page respects the account scope, every global filter except the date, the P&L display mode, the breakeven threshold, and your timezone. The day you pick sets the date.
